AVWW Beta 0.525, "Rushing Minis," Released!

This one is again a shorter release notes, and again there's some... extra something in this release not noted. But this time, pretty well everyone should find that extra stuff because it's so darn pervasive in most any building now.

The two big things in this release, aside from the various tweaks and the "extra something," are a change to make the Miniature spell a toggle-based spell (go small, go back at your leisure), and a new Storm Rush spell.

The Storm Rush is basically just Storm Dash except sustained and draining your mana over time. This again is something you can toggle on and off, and it's really ideal for being able to run over great distances very fast. It's more Sonic than Mega Man if you want to make comparisons. We implemented this as a second spell because both spells are useful and this way players can customize how they play. That's going to be the general philosophy with this game.

More to come Monday. Enjoy!

This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 0.500 or later. When you launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found if you're connected to the Internet at the time. If you don't have 0.500 or later, you can download that here.
